- Gayle from BERNINA of Naperville shows you how to attach, adjust, and use the BSR or otherwise known as the BERNINA Stitch Regulator.
She demonstrates the three included soles, how to attach it to a 4/5/7/8 Series as well as an Aurora 440.

Bernina should clone you. They would never be able to keep up with sales. 50 years sewing with Berninas and having attended hundreds of classes including many BU’s. You really give a good understandable lesson. Thanks.
The BSR is not only “training wheels” for inexperienced free motion quilters, but it is also an irreplaceable tool for experienced and more advanced quilters as well, especially when stitch perfection counts. I’m an advanced free motion quilter and consider the BSR a “sweet little gem” in my toolbox!
I bought the 820QE in 2012 and tried unsuccessfully to like the BSR. I bought the 770QE in 2017 and tried unsuccessfully to like the BSR. Gail, you have completely changed my hate affair with the BSR to a gee-I-think-I'm-going-to-fall-in-love-with-my-BSRs!!!!! Your video and your presentation is 10 stars out of a 5 star recommendation. You CLEARLY demonstrate and explain the BSR and you CLEARLY demonstrate how easy it is to use the BSR. I sewed along with you on a practice piece and had GREAT success. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! After I finished practicing along with you, I jumped right in to the project I was working on and am so very pleased with my BSR/FMQ results. Normally, I would have set up my Janome 8900 and done the FMQing on that machine. Again, thank you, Gail, for an excellent TH-cam video! Linda from North Dakota
Thank you so much for this compliment.
I just bought the 770 qe plus and this is the easiest tutorial to follow that I have checked out. I now think I can move along and enjoy the BSR. Yay!
Thank you for your explicit explanation of how to use the lines on the clear foot to echo quilt. I've read they're there but wasn't sure how to use them. I appreciate how long you ran the video in that segment so my eyes could follow along.
I had no idea what the BSR was for. I just got my first Bernina (770 QE+) at QuiltCon in February 2024. Now, I can't wait to try it. You have an amazing ability to explain and demonstrate these functions. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for explaining the foot in detail. Today is the days I am going to practice using the different settings.
Great lesson. Thank you. I’ll be watching over again when I buy my SRegulator.
Great tutorial - I have not mastered the BSR that came with my 570 QE yet and this instruction will help! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this…yes I am one of those whom has not taken it out of the box…soon come, though! ❤️❤️
Thanks so much for taking the time to do videos so I can learn about my Bernina. I’ve never used my BSR but today after watching your video, I feel confident that I CAN DO IT!
Thanks for the video tutorial. It took me a week just to test out my new (to me) BSR.
Vivacious and engaging tutor…great presentation ❤
With this tutorial, I'm a little braver so I took the bsr out of the box for the first time. Baby steps. Thank you!
I was trying to free motion and I couldn't get the bottom right, too loose. So I broke down and used the BSR for the first time and I couldn't believe how nice the stitches were even for using it as a novice and going to fast with it screaming at me. The quilting looked great
Brilliant tutorial ❤. Best I’ve ever seen
Gayle, WOW! Thank you so much. You've motivated me to try my BSR again. I had a little mishap 3 years ago and was a bit afraid to use it again. Thanks, again! I'll be following your tutorials for sure! :)
Thank you so much for teaching us to use the BRS. I just purchased my 770QE Plus and love it!
Thank you so much Gayle, I learn so much from your fabulous videos and great personality.
This was awesome to watch, great detail. Thank you♥️
You do a great job and make it fun and interesting! Thanks!
Hi from Australia. I have a 440QE as well as the 820. I must try a little harder to make friends with my BSR. Thanks for great demo. 😀
Wonderful demonstrations Gayle. Loved your techniques for the stitch book too.
Very helpful especially since Mode 3 is not in the manual that came with the BSR with my new 770 QE+. Thank you!!
Really excellent tutorial. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much Gail. You’re a great teacher and I’m learning so much from your detailed tutorials. I’ve never used my BSR but I’m going to now because of your tutorial. You covered it all for me!
Love your tutorials! I have the Bernina770 QE PLUS on order and am so excited!
You have the BEST tutorials!
Very helpful; thanks 😊
very informative and well done
Where did you get the gloves? Did you make them. Thanks for all your help.
These are Regi's Gloves. You can buy them here: www.berninaofnaperville.com/search?q=regi%27s
Love your videos. Thank you.
Love your videos, I have learned soooo much about my 770QE and watch your tutorials over and over to learn about settings and other techniques. I love the BSR, BUT when I use mode 2 on the BSR, I always get a big stitch first when I start it, then it works fine. For this reason, I only use modes 1 and 3(for basting only, obviously). Any hints on how to stop and start using mode 2 without getting the giant 'toe snatcher' stitch every time I start up again after a stop to change directions
?
The king stitch is because wen the machine is at rest, it takes a hot minute to “wake up” the BSR when it is in mode 2. Mode 2 is really for training and discovering how the foot works. I never use it when I’m actually quilting
Great video! I'm still learning how to use my 570QE so this video is very helpful. I really like your gloves. What are they?

you did it great
I have an Bernina 820 and I can not figure out how to raise the dual feed in the back. I'm afraid of breaking something. Do you have any tips?
Watch the video here: I time stamped it for attaching the dual feed and releasing it: th-cam.com/video/_785-BnWNOQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hTi0xlsPqjJ9FxLA&t=2457
I recommend a class at your local BERNINA Dealer. Releasing the dual feed is not a difficult thing to do.
Hi Gayle- this was a great tutorial! Thx for this
A question- I hav a B590. Do you think it better to add a 790 plus or an 880 plus? I do scene embroidery and clothing and quilting. Thx ever so!!!
I love my B 880 Plus. However, the model machine you get is a relationship with your local dealer. Do they use the B 880?
@@BERNINAofNaperville I believe so- Thts different from the 880 plus?
@@cathj8568 no I just forgot to type plus
Hi, what about a 640 machine,I find it to be very difficult, any tips or videos for that 640 , thanks so much for any help. Linda Gormley
The 640 has been out of the line for over 14 years. We do not have one at the store. However the BSR works the same on that machine as the one in this video. The 640 is just going to be a bit slower.
Is there a certain needle size we should use with the SR?
Needle size is dependent on what you are sewing through. For quilting, choose a quilting needle. If only going through plain fabric on top and bottom with batting, size 75 should do. If you are stitching over a greater thickness and lots of seams, try a size 90.
I love it beautiful
Hi there. B770 QE, no upgrade.
I’m trying to get the nerve to FMQ my first top!! 👌 My regulator foot seems to be sitting right on the plate-without my quilt below it. Once my top is in place, I can hardly move it. How do I adjust that? I’ve tried the hover, the middle setting is not enough, and the high is too high.
Try adjusting your presser foot pressure. There is no height adjustment for the BSR foot otherwise.
Perhaps you've got this figured out by now, but to make it easier to move the quilt, you need a large smooth surface. I use a product called the Supreme Slider for this. The pressure of the presser foot can be finely adjusted. The default setting is 50 but I lower mine to 40. Gloves make a big difference, flannel is hard to move and (I don't care what anyone says) large quilts are very hard to handle on a domestic machine.
@@elyseeverett6569 thank you so much for your recommendations. This tutorial was strictly for the BERNINA products, not an endorsement for after market products. And I always say that if you get a room full of quilters they all will provide 900 ways to do something.
When I use my BSR on 2, it sounds like gears grinding when I sew side to side. Does it hurt the foot to skip ahead, pulling your thread out to reach the next area to be quilted. IE to skip over an area that doesn’t need quilting, stretching the thread. I hope this makes sense 🫣
No, I jump stitch all of the time. Perhaps a visit to your dealer about the noise or some oil?
I don’t have Mode 3 I have a 790+. Do I need an upgrade?
There is no current firmware upgrade for the mode 3 feature on a B 790 PLUS
So yours is a newer BSR?
@@AnnieofBlueGables this is the same BSR unit. The new B 770 PLuS has a firmware upgrade for the machine that allows for basting mode (mode 3) on that model.
@@BERNINAofNaperville thank you for your quick answer. I’m saddened to learn my 790+ doesn’t have the capacity for a firmwear upgrade. Do you think Bernina will put that in someday? I thought the 790+ was practically the top of the line. I’m wondering why 770+ and not 790+?
